Lord of Scourge: Begin as a Demon Archduke

The descendants of the Bauhinia family, is it better to inherit something casually than to become a lord in the endless wasteland who faces the siege of bloody polluters every month?

That's a life that can be lost at any time...

Luo Lun smiled, "Our ancestors have made great achievements, so what face do I have to hide in the capital and rely on the glory of my ancestors to survive?"

The harshness of these words made Fianna, who had been silent all this time, move her eyes, but when she thought about what he had done during this period, she was too lazy to think about it.

"You are worthy of being a descendant of the Bauhinia family. This kind of heart is admirable."

Regardless of what Robert was thinking in his heart, the expression on his face was extremely serious, as if he really believed it.

After speaking, the voice changed.

"My lord Lauren, I admire you the most, a nobleman like you who enjoys inexhaustible wealth but is willing to work hard alone.

Although the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce has been losing money year after year, it doesn't have much resources.

But if there is anything you need to ask us to do, as long as we can do it, we will definitely do our best..."

Compared with the first temptation, Robert's second temptation seemed very straightforward.

Lauren was amused, but his eyes became serious.

Raising his head slightly, he looked down at Robert in a standard aristocratic posture.

"There's no need to test me like this, Robert, how much is the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce worth? It's not enough for me to look at it."

This was blunt, but it made Robert feel a little relieved.

The descendants of the Bauhinia family are so honorable, and they really don't have any thoughts about the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce.

Then what is the purpose of the other party coming?

Robert became more and more puzzled.

Lauren looked directly at this old river and lake that seemed harmless to humans and animals but had experienced strong winds and waves.

"I came today to reward you with a great opportunity."

The corner of Robert's mouth twitched. Is it my turn to have such a good thing?But it was not good to brush off Lauren's face, and said with a dry smile.

"Master Luo Lun, I'm afraid we can't bear your attention. The Jasmine Chamber of Commerce has been losing money for three consecutive years, and there is really no spare capacity..."

Luo Lun ignored the complaints of the old Jiang Hu, and the chamber of commerce who can hang out in Decker City, a big border city, who is not a veteran cannon who is good at calculation, the idiot has long been eliminated.

His deep eyes were fixed on Robert. Although his tone was calm, the content contained endless temptation.

"Robert, I plan to form an alliance of chambers of commerce in Decker City managed by the Bauhinia family.

And all chambers of commerce participating in the chamber of commerce alliance will have the privilege of being named under the name of the Bauhinia family.

I don't want the shares of the members of the chamber of commerce, I only need the members to pay an annual joining fee of 500 million...

You should know that the trade income tax of the Grand Duke only needs to pay the normal 10%, and once you are sheltered by the Bauhinia family, you don't need to pay any nobles for shelter! "

bang~

Shocked.

Everyone in the room widened their eyes and looked at Lauren in disbelief.

Him, what did he say? ! !

To form a chamber of commerce alliance, can the chamber of commerce be listed under the name of the Bauhinia family? ! !

The Silver Moon Kingdom stipulates that nobles can reduce or exempt commercial tax according to their titles. Dukes and uncles only need to pay 10% of the normal commercial tax, marquises pay 30%, earls pay 50%, and viscounts and barons pay 70%.

And Silvermoon Kingdom's commercial tax is very heavy, as much as 20% for ordinary goods, and some profiteering industries - such as slave trade tax is as high as 60%.

If the chamber of commerce can be listed under the name of the Bauhinia family, then normal goods only need to pay 2% tax, and profiteering industries only need to pay 6%... Who can resist this temptation.

It is nonsense for Robert to say that the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce is losing money, but it is true that he has to pay heavy taxes every year.

And in addition to taxes and fees, he also had to pay a large sum of money to the nobles to seek asylum, so he earned a lot, but there was not much left.

Once she is really protected by the Bauhinia family, then why the hell should she turn over and become the master immediately?

As long as he is not exploited by others and pays less taxes, Robert is absolutely confident that he will be able to expand the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce tenfold in just three years! !

Under the excitement in his heart, his eyeballs were almost red.

Looking nervously at Luo Rendao.

"Master Luo Lun, are you kidding us? You only need to pay the membership fee of 500 million puke every year? Can you hang the chamber of commerce under the name of the Bauhinia family without our shares?"

Although 500 million general customers are quite a lot, in the past even nobles like the Bauhinia family would ignore them even if there were 5000 million or even 5 million.

Although the high-ranking nobles have certain tax-free rights, the king also promulgated laws to limit the scale, and it is impossible for the nobles to expand without limit.

So most nobles have their own chambers of commerce. Isn't it good to eat alone?Why share it with outsiders?

On weekdays, ordinary barons and viscounts have a large number of chambers of commerce rushing to register, let alone under the name of the grand duke's family. This is not a concept at all.

Lauren nodded lightly.

"Yes."

"Master Luo Lun, you, why don't you seek cooperation from those big chambers of commerce?"

Although Lauren asked for 500 million, Robert knew that the price was totally worth it, and if Lauren sold the place to the Big Chamber of Commerce, he would get more.

For a moment, I still couldn't believe that the pie would fall on my head.

[9.Chapter 9 Go to the city first]

"Great chamber of commerce?" Lauren smiled.

"Most of the large chambers of commerce with certain strength have the support of nobles behind them, and they already have a fixed cooperative relationship. My cooperation with them is just icing on the cake and has little impact.

On the contrary, it may become my restraint because of the strength of the opponent.

And the elders of the family have also taught me that to be kind to others, there is no need to conflict with other nobles.

What's more, the elders also have plans to test me. What merit is more rewarding than rising from the bottom?

Believe me, President Robert, the cooperation with the Small Chamber of Commerce is my choice after careful consideration, otherwise, it would not be the turn of the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce. "

After he paused for a moment, he changed the subject and his tone was full of endless temptation.

"After joining the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, without the burden of expensive taxes and fees, the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce may increase five times or even ten times in size within three years, be able to employ thousands of people, and become a chamber of commerce with great power.

At that time, if you are willing, you can even open up wasteland on the endless wasteland alone, become the lord of the wasteland, build a territory of your own, and obtain the status of aristocrats..."

The inflammatory words made many people short of breath.

Become a nobleman!

These words echoed in his mind like a curse.

As the ruling class, the nobility is the ultimate dream of almost everyone.

Just like those who are greedy for money want to be worth hundreds of millions, and those who are greedy for power want to worship princes, nobles in this world are synonymous with power, and there is no more breath-taking title than this.

Fianna, who has been silent behind her, watched the change in the atmosphere in the room, and subconsciously turned her head to observe Lauren carefully.

The determined and confident negotiating posture of this heroic young man is completely different from the state where he couldn't even understand the words in front of those nobles yesterday.

How can a person change so much in a short period of time?

Robert felt complicated when he heard this.

A big chamber of commerce with some strength will find a noble to be affiliated with. Although they have to pay those nobles a lot of money, they can not only get asylum, but also get a lot of tax reduction, so few people will be indifferent to this.

It's not that the jasmine merchants didn't seek the protection of nobles before, but no one cared about them at all, and only the person involved could understand the feeling.

In a flash of thought, Robert already had a preliminary judgment in his heart.

"Master Luo Lun, I naturally believe in you, but if we agree to join your chamber of commerce alliance, how can we ensure that our interests will not be encroached upon by other allies?"

Lauren looked at the ecstatic Robert, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"I will sign a contract with you in the name of the Bauhinia family, and I will file it with the city hall of Decker City.

Believe me, the reputation of the Bauhinia family cannot be compared with your little money.

And the time we signed the contract for the first time is tentatively set for one year. If you feel inappropriate after one year, or your interests are damaged, you can withdraw at any time. I will not charge you any exit fees.

The form of the business alliance is loose, and I will not force you to do anything.

But the only thing is, if I need certain products, you must sell them to me first if the price is the same.

I hope you can understand that I formed this business alliance to facilitate the construction of territories, not just to make money. "

Hearing this, the worry in Robert's heart was quietly let go.

With a platinum-level guardian to protect his own safety, coupled with such an outstanding temperament, everything that Lauren has shown is not perfect, and it is too in line with his status as a descendant of a high-ranking nobleman.

Even if he had some doubts in his heart, would an existence who could command platinum powerhouses go to such great lengths to plan their small chamber of commerce?

No matter how you think about it, it's impossible, but it's a platinum powerhouse, why is it so cheap? !

After Robert thought for a while, he felt that he couldn't find a reason not to cooperate with Lauren.

But the vigilance in his heart made him not directly agree. He turned his head and glanced behind him, wanting to hear opinions from the members of the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce.

But after glancing at his subordinates, he couldn't help being speechless.

At this time, the members of the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce were more and more excited. They had already been swayed by what Lauren said, and they seemed to be eager to cooperate with each other.

These stupid pigs...

Robert cursed secretly, his teammates were unreliable, so he could only bite the bullet by himself.

"Dear Lord Luo Lun, your conditions are too generous, if the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce is my own, I'm afraid I will immediately agree to your conditions.

But the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce is a partnership after all, so I need to discuss with the shareholders. Can you see if we can give you an answer in ten days? "

Lauren frowned, his face turned cold, and he stood up directly, overlooking the shrewd president of the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce, with a cold tone.

"You can come to the homeless hotel in the city center to find me before nine o'clock tomorrow morning. After this time, the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce will be disqualified."

After finishing speaking, he paused and said indifferently.

"Robert, you have to be clear, now, I am not begging you to cooperate with me, but I am rewarding you with the opportunity to cooperate with me...

If my territory hadn't been attacked by blood polluters, and I'm short of funds, do you think you're qualified to stand here and talk to me?

What is the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce? ! "

After finishing speaking, he waved his hands, without looking at Robert's expression, turned and left without hesitation with his head held high.

Everyone in the room was shocked. They obviously didn't expect that Lauren, who was so talkative just now, would turn his back on him as soon as he said it, and he didn't leave any room for conversation with them.

When everyone was about to chase them out, Fianna, who was following Lauren, turned her head and gave everyone in the room a cold look.

Seeing that icy gaze, everyone's scalps were numb, and they almost forgot that there was a Platinum level powerhouse...

After Lauren's back disappeared, there was a sound of regret in the room, but they didn't dare to chase anymore.

"President, why didn't you promise Lord Laurent just now..."

"Oh, it's a pity this opportunity, no, I can still go tomorrow morning..."

Hearing the complaints around him, Robert almost ran away, turned his head and looked at the crowd and roared.

"Get lost, why didn't I see you stand up just now!! That's a 500 million joining fee!!

The current annual profit of the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce is only more than 200 million. How dare we take risks? !

And don't inquire about the background of the other party, so you can trust him? "

Only then did the house go silent.

After Lauren left the Jasmine Manor, the proud expression that had been irritated just now subsided in an instant, and he returned to the calm before he came.

With great interest, he turned his head and glanced at the door of the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce that was open behind him, and said in a casual but extremely firm tone.

"Fix one family, wait for them to come to the door to deliver money tomorrow morning, and then get ready to go to the next one..."

His negotiating strategy is not complicated, just the trilogy, first, use the noble status of high-ranking nobles and Fianna's powerful control over the initiative.

The second is lure. By being affiliated with the chamber of commerce, you can be tax-free and get asylum to make the other party's heart.

Third, leave the field to exert pressure. This step is to make the opponent make up his mind as soon as possible. If such a big benefit comes to the door, the opponent must have doubts in his heart.

But after he leaves the field without hesitation, those guys will definitely reflect on whether they did something wrong, and the clear time limit will bring huge psychological pressure to the opponent.
